Description: 
              This module provides a single method, valid_email_address(), which returns
              True or False to indicate whether a given address is valid according to the
              'addr-spec' part of the specification given in [RFC 2822]
              (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt).  Ideally, we would like to find this
              in some other library, already thoroughly tested and well- maintained.  The
              standard Python library email.utils contains a parse_addr() function, but
              it is not sufficient to detect many malformed addresses.
        
              This implementation aims to be faithful to the RFC, with the exception of a
              circular definition (see comments inline), and with the omission of the
              pattern components marked as "obsolete".
        
              Yes, all this really does is build a big regular expression.  But it builds
              it in nice pieces that correspond to the RFC, and there's a big bunch of
              unit tests that try to ensure each little piece of the regexp works as
              intended.  (See test_email_validation.py.)
